Key Impeachment Witness Sues Trump, Don Jr. Over ‘Conspiracy’ to Silence Him
Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman has sued Donald Trump and several of his allies, including his son Don Jr. and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, over what he describes as a conspiracy to shut him up ahead of his testimony in the former president’s first impeachment trial.
In court documents filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the former head of European affairs for the National Security Council demands “long-overdue accountability” from Trump and his allies, calling them out for trying to “obstruct a constitutional proceeding by intimidating and retaliating against a key witness.”
Vindman, who provided scathing testimony about Trump pressuring the Ukrainian president to smear Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential election, was relentlessly bullied by Trump and his allies ahead of the trial.
